If they contain more _Red_ than _Black_ Cards, this shall come:
the Querist may wish a _Wish_ for his own Profit or Pleasure,
even in removal of an Evil that hath been read to him in the
_Parallelogram_. If there be Black rather than Red cards in the
Three, he must wish a like wish for _Another_. And in either case,
if the cards deciding his Privilege be of high degree, such as
_Court Cards_, Aces or above the Eight, his Wish is likely to be
granted, or at least it is not in vain in some sort. But if the Cards
be low in Values he has desired to Fruitlessness.
Let it be minded that by the Phrase an _high_ or a _low_ Card in a
Suit is ever meant, respectively, the cards above or below the
_Eight_; the Aces being reckoned as the highest in a Suit. And
indeed Cards must ever be read with a Considering of their
Degree, and of the Six in Court Cards. Where there be no speciall
Significancies given to the Degrees, the Judgement must I shift as
best it can.
It is well not to oblige, of any one evening, or on a set and single
occasion, more than a Querist or so--maybe, oblige at most three
Querists--by making Squares of Sevens and Reducing the same and
Reading what may lie therein. Too much of any good thing makes it
over-common, blunts the Appetite and dulls the Apprehensiveness
of the Reader.
